Intro seems ok, looks like it might be one of those types of games where you can be raided while you are away though. If that is the case, it will be somewhat disappointing. Edit: This is definitely a pay to win game. Using a shield to protect your stuff is the only way to […]

Eh it’s ok. Long tutorial. Game of thrones inspired. Script is like watching a high school play. Haven’t seen anything yet that impresses me. I tried to get into this game, but some of the mechanics were confusing. Hero assignment was a pain to figure out. In the end it was just like every other […]

Game was fun but now everything is about buying to advance. It is very unfair if you do not spend $$$$$$… Game developers say you don’t need to spend money but the reality is that if you don’t do it, then you become a target for spenders. It doesn’t matter if you are in an […]

First off, it is not a strategy game. It is fun to build your city, but it is pretty basic. Combat is just send your army over and that is it. It all comes down to troop and hero stats. No thinking involved. Pretty simple, would be good for younger players but they might get […]

Very similar in game play as other games of this type. You DO NOT start in an island with a fishing net as in the ad. You begin just like other games, with a play tutorial, build this and build that. You don’t control the dragon, and some of the gameplay is not as good […]

It needs a huge improvement in instructions, but it is really fun to play! After a few more days playing, I’ve not received gems I purchased. Dropping the rating down from stars to 1. This is that is unacceptable. Update: 2 more days, it has now happened again! I have purchased items and never got […]

Well, I came back to edit my review. Initially I had it at five stars. Progress was steady, found like minded people in an alliance..etc. Now, it is exactly what I thought it was and would be. Pay or be cannon fodder. You have to buy certain things or you don’t get the benefits. There’s […]

There’s no way this has a legit 4.7 rating. Yes, anyone can play without paying. Yes, anyone can progress without paying. But you cannot progress far without paying unless you want to get stuck being a farm for top payers. The game caters to those who spend alot of money, and gives just enough to […]

I saw an ad on Instagram for this game and was hyped for about 1 minute. Then I played it. The ad shows the original age of empires, and then this game (which they implied it is age of empires on the phone). This game is NOT age of empires. It is a false advertising, […]

The game is amazing with it’s graphics and ability to move farms and other material gathering plots, but to actually get somewhere in the game, i have to pay like 50 bucks. It does not make sense, and is really poor on the developers part. If you want so much money, don’t make the game […]

Dragon exploration % is way off, may say 10%, when it’s actually 1-2%. Pay-to-play to be able to compete in any way. Some things disappear in your cards, which may give you various resources. Nothing changes, and they keep adding cartoon type things. To try to get kids to spend money in this game. If […]

They are making the game too much of a pay to win. New things out nearly every week that cost hundreds of dollars and are neccesary to be competitive. I recommend finding another game that isnt quite as greedy. Update since developers responded. Their statements are false. You cannot get everything free from playing more. […]

Misleading game dynamics! I downloaded this game because it said I didn’t need to pay to win. I played for 4 weeks and built as much as I could without spending real money, and I still end up getting beat up by older and higher level players who obviously have way more experience and forces […]

Really fun game… If you spend and continue to spend. They don’t give enough free gems or resources from anything so you’re constantly struggling. To top it off it costs a ton to heal troops just from killing monsters. The game is very detailed and that makes it fun, but don’t expect to be around […]

Fun game to pass the time. Do not need to pay to progress, but it takes much longer. Great way to meet people from around the world and make online friends. Great for casual play if you don’t mind being at a disadvantage most of the time to people with deep pockets. Micro transactions galore […]

Lots of fun to play! Just know going into it that it will require spending real money to keep the gameplay going. I don’t mind it so much at here and there (I will spend much more than that to buy a PC game). Keep a close eye on your in-game commerce resources (gold and […]

if you’re going to plan on dumping a bunch of money into a game this one’s for you. some of the packages in my opinion are absolutely ridiculous. and also the main screen is way too busy there’s way too much going on, it’s difficult to focus on building and and doing your layout of […]

Been playing since 2019. Game starts off fun and engaging. It soon turns into a boring drag as it begins to take a year to upgrade your castle each time, unless you pay tons of money for all their nonsense packs. Additionally, you’ll often get stuck getting attacked over and over again, which causes you […]

I’ve spent THOUSANDS on this game and I’ve been experiencing crashes Everytime I try to log in since yesterday, this is the only game I play and I’m still awaiting help from developers, un freaking believable UPDATE:weeks later they say it’s fixed, after denying it was happening and saying we didn’t experience it. They sent […]

Customer support for this game is useless and awful. I spent $35 for an in game event (Province Migration) and I could not migrate to the state I wanted to. Kept saying my power didn’t meet the conditions when in fact it did! Opened ticket with the in game customer support, took 2 days to […]
